Former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan makes bold statement regarding Punjab Kings opener
The development of brilliant Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Prabhsimran Singh in the 16th Indian Premier League (IPL) has retired Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan extremely impressed. In game 64 of the IPL 2023, which took place on Wednesday at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Prabhsimran, who had just scored his first century against Delhi Capitals (DC), was predicted to continue scoring freely.
In their previous away game at the IPL 2023, Shikhar Dhawan’s Punjab Kings defeated Delhi Capitals with ease thanks to a ton by Prabhsimran. Prabhsimran’s batting, according to former India all-rounder Pathan, is the ideal combination of delicacy and power, as seen in their current IPL matchup at Dharamsala, where PBKS and DC are still at odds with one another.
In 2019, the young Prabhsimran made his IPL debut at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The PBKS batsman only took part in the renowned competition for the Punjab-based team. With 8 points after 12 games, Punjab Kings are ranked eighth in the IPL 2023 overall standings.
What did former Indian players Irfan Pathan and Mohammed Kaif say about Prabhsimran Singh?
Irfan Pathan spoke about the talent and potential that Prabhsimran Singh possesses and discussed that on Star Sports. He said, “Prabhsimran did the work of a senior batsman against Delhi Capitals but the thing to remember is that he is young, and bats with great finesse and power. He has all kinds of shots. I think he’s a star of the future.”
Former Indian team player Mohammed Kaif speaks about the Punjab Kings opener as well and also speaks about the kind of shots he plays. He said, “This is the tradition of IPL. Bring in a new talent and give him a chance. He will definitely shine. Prabhsimran is a talent of that kind. He has all kinds of shots and he not only has the ability to finish the innings but can also take the team to a strong score.”
